Aberdeen Materials Recycling Facility

March 22 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm GMT

Visit Aberdeen’s brand new Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) at Altens East (next to Doonies Farm). This is where all of the recyclable materials that are collected by the Council from households and businesses are taken to be sorted into the separate waste streams ready to be sent away for recycling. You can see what the material looks like when it is delivered, watch it going through a process of conveyor belts, optical, magnetic and ballistic separation equipment and then see the finished products ready to go for reprocessing. Need to pre-book on MRFtours@aberdeencity.gov.uk. Numbers for this tour are strictly limited to 10 per slot. For transport, use First Bus Nº 18.
